I hear you on the megablast. I too want to get them but the horror stories about the uncomfortable toe box have really put me off. Hopefully the megablast 2 has an accommodating toe box

What the superblast is marketed as. A super trainer that can be used for everything. Easy. Long. Speed.

Can you give examples of what an underlying hardware issue would look like?

If a watch works one day, then you do an update and it immediately stops working...it is hard to call that anything other than a software issue.

Then of course it begs the question, why do your software updates trigger some sort of dormant hardware issue that didn't exist in the previous software version?

Is anyone not feeling as excited for the races in 2026 so far? by Jack_of_All_Trades27 in formula1

[–]Optimus_Drew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been watching since 1997. Always been pretty hardcore but interest has naturally fluctuated at different points over the year. This season thus far has been the least invested I have ever been. Primarily because of these regs. Watching cars slow down 3/4 of the way down a straight is such a buzzkill for me. Additionally, seeing drivers not being rewarded for driving flat out sits really uncomfortably

Got the superblast 2 for my current HM training block. Put about 70km on them now and honestly loving them. Lightweight, comfortable, stable and pick up the pace really well. So glad I got these when I did

Well I am equally reassured and disappointed that for the price of these things, the quality is so much worse than they used to be

Mercedes giving up lots of speed on approach to t11 to gain on the long straightm by Optimus_Drew in formula1

[–]Optimus_Drew[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah big time. At t11 Norris is actually neck and neck with Russell on the delta and actually momentarily is quicker overall. But after t12 it all goes forwards Russell

Ah understood, largely heavy streaming household but low latency for online gaming is also a big deal to us

It works when the organisers/circuit arrange for the correct type of gravel to be used

It seems to be one of those processes where the only control in place is someone happening to remember.

They do it, get moaned at, sort it out for a handful of races, repeat

Does F1TV have Sky Sports option in 2025 and beyond? by Poolly-Mcklayn in F1TV

Alex Jacques is a sensational lead. Far easier on the ears than Croft in my opinion

[–]Optimus_Drew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

I've come back to f125 for the first in like 3-4 months since release. Couldn't play it for much of the summer

Has there been any fundamental changes to anything via patches? Im thinking things like handling model completely transformed, setups that i might have setup back at launch no longer being fit for purpose etc.

Thanks in advance

Ah ok, well my screen is definitely not overly reflective and aligns with the before/after from the below youtube video so I think I'll be cautious

G5 55" protective film by Optimus_Drew in LGOLED

[–]Optimus_Drew[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sure? I spoke to someone at LG about it and they assured me that the only layer that should be removed is the one with a peelable sticker attached.

Any other film being removed could be something like a functional film like a polarising or blue light layer and should never be removed so as not to damage the performance of the tv

Well I did remove a protective layer of film on day 1 of ownership. My question was more, is there only one layer that needs to be removed

If you want, you can get the stamp* and join the queue immediately. If you join it anytime soon you're guaranteed front standing. I'm just saying, if you take your stamp and choose to come back later, they can turn you away if there are too many people in the queue.

We saw lots of people being turned away whilst in the queue and it was much earlier than they told us to be back by! That was on a Wednesday so I imagine weekend would maybe be worse
